OUTSIDE EVERBANK FIELD. I'LL BE BACK AT 11:00 WITH MAGIC HIGHLIGHTS. SEE YOU THEN. THE SMALL ACTS OF KINDNESS ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE. MORNING ANCHOR BRIDGETT ELLISON SHOWS US A RECENT DRIVE FOR A SURPRISINGLY IMPORTANT ITEM. A TEAM FROM FLORIDA HOSPITAL JUST RETURNED FROM A MISSION TRIP TO ETHIOPIA WHERE THEY DROPPED OFF A SPECIAL COLLECTION OF LIP BALM WHILE THEY WERE THERE. THESE ARE SMALL THINGS THAT REALLY MATTER FOR THE KIDS IN ETHIOPIA. THE DRY CLIMATE THERE MAKES LIP BALM A LUXURY ITEM. THAT'S WHY FLORIDA HOSPITAL DECIDED TO DO A SUPPLY DRIVE AHEAD OF THEIR MISSION TRIP. TO GATHER CHAPSTICK FOR THE CHILDREN IN ETHIOPIA, CHAPSTICK IS LIKE GOLD FOR THOSE CHILDREN WHO LIVE IN SUCH A DRY AND ARID LAND. OUR GOAL WAS A THOUSAND CH CHAPST CHAPSTICKS. A THOUSAND WAS A LOT TO ASK. WE HAVE 1800 SPIRITUAL AMBASSADORS, SO I WAS HOPING ONE EACH WOULD GIVE SO WE WOULD END UP WITH 2,000. BUT 10,000, IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE. ORGANIZERS SAY IT'S A GREAT FEELING TO MAKE AN IMPACT OVERSEAS. THE MISSION IS TO EXTEND THE HEALING MINISTRY OF CHRIST. IT'S COOL FOR ME TO SEE THE HEALING MINISTRY OF CHRIST IS NOT ONLY EXTENDED HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA BUT EVEN OVERSEAS AND INTERNATIONAL BORDERS. IT'S PRETTY COOL. THE MISSION TEAM WORKED ON SEVERAL HEALTH AND EDUCATION PROJECTS DURING THEIR TRIP TO AFRICA. WE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT PEOPLE MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR COMMUNITY. SEND AN E-MAIL TO "MAKING A DIFFERENCE" AT CLICKORLANDO.COM. I'M BRIDGETT ELLISON AND I'LL SEE YOU ON THE MORNING NEWS
